The Toll-like receptors (TLRs) and interleukin-1 receptors (IL-1R) families are of paramount importance in coordinating the early immune response to pathogens. Signaling most TLRs and IL-1Rs is mediated by the protein myeloid differentiation primary-response protein 88 (MyD88). This signaling adaptor forms the scaffold of the myddosome, a molecular platform that employs IL-1R-associated kinase (IRAK) proteins as main players for transducing signals. These kinases are essential in controlling gene transcription by regulating myddosome assembly, stability, activity and disassembly. Additionally, IRAKs play key roles in other biologically relevant responses such as inflammasome formation and immunometabolism. Here, we summarize some of the key aspects of IRAK biology in innate immunity.

Psoriasis is a prevalent, chronic inflammatory disease characterized by abnormal skin plaques. To date, physical therapy, topical therapy, systemic therapy and biologic drugs are the most commonly employed strategies for treating psoriasis. Recently, many agents have advanced to clinical trials, and some anti-psoriasis drugs have been approved, including antibody drugs and small-molecule drugs.

Objective: The main objective of this study was to elucidate the effector material basis of Cimicifugae Rhizoma (CR) for the treatment of acute pneumonia (AP) and to explore the potential mechanisms underlying the anti-AP effects of these active components in a lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced inflammation model of lung epithelial cells.
Methods: Chemical components were identified using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOF-MS), and a CR component library was subsequently established based on a combination of databases and available literature. Bioinformatics techniques were used to construct "component-target" and "protein-protein interaction (PPI)" networks, and the potential active components and core targets screened according to degree value, followed by molecular docking and in vitro experiments for verification.

The human interleukin-1 receptor I (IL-1R1) is a cytokine receptor recognized by interleukin 1β (IL-1β), among other cytokines. Over activation of IL-1R1 has been implicated in various inflammatory conditions. This research aims to identify small-molecule inhibitors targeting the hIL1R1/IL1β interaction, employing a multi-task transfer learning approach for quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) modelling.

Article Synopsis
- Lactiplantibacillus species, particularly strains MKMB01 and MKMB02, show promise as probiotics that help regulate the immune response against enteric pathogens like Salmonella enterica typhimurium.
- The study utilized various cell lines and techniques, including qRT-PCR and electron microscopy, to assess the probiotics' effects on immune responses and gut integrity.
- Results indicated that both strains enhanced gut health and reduced inflammation by maintaining tight junction proteins and downregulating pro-inflammatory cytokines, while also improving mitochondrial function impaired by Salmonella.

Atherosclerosis is the foremost vascular disease, precipitating debilitating complications. Although therapeutic strategies have historically focused on reducing cholesterol deposition, recent insights emphasize the pivotal role of inflammation. Innate inflammation significantly contributes to plaque instability and rupture, underscoring the need for intervention across all disease stages.
